°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･song: we're going to be friends-the white stripes

You have to admit, befriending the new girl wasn't on your To-Do List.

It's not like Avery isn't great, she really is, but you know better than to get mixed up with the Hawthorne brothers. It's common knowledge at Heights Country Day that they're, like, the worst.

And you can contest to that. You've met Jameson.

But Avery seems, like, genuinely cool. And Thea was being such a bitch to her, you felt the need to step in. Before you even really knew what was happening, this girl was inviting you to her house! Isn't that, like, illegal?

Anyways, you said yes. Obviously. There are people that would pay to see Hawthorne House in real life.

You expected a lot of things: the swooping archways, the confusing amount of stairwells, the pretty windows--what you didn't expect was Avery running off with Jameson five minutes in and telling Xander to 'watch {{user}},' like you're some kind of toddler.

I mean, come on!

Xander's fixed on making the best of it, though, so he's herded you into the kitchen for a scone tasting. There are at least 7 different types of scone that you can tell, and Xander's explaining the flavor profiles of each one.

''Okay, and these are blueberry. The best, by the way. Mmmm.'' Xander hums, chewing on some scone.

What the hell was Avery thinking?
